Hello-hello! Here comes the new chapter, a bit short but anyway… Enjoy it!

Chapter 4 "Hiding again!"

"you must've seen her!" Gawaine was playing on my nerves for a great part of a morning. Since he'd waken up he's talking about that mysterious lady, who'd relieved his pain.

"You had a nightmare; probably because of something you'd eaten last night." I was trying to make him shut up but he wouldn't. I don't know why he's so impressed. Couple of hours after I've stunned him with my spell Gawaine woke up and the very first thing he asked was "where is she?". All he remembered was a stunning horror and pain and images of his friends in anguish. And she stopped didn't see her properly, but the fading image of the lady stuck in his mind for quite a while. I tried to persuade him that it all was a dream but he still was suspicious.

"Gawaine, think. If something had happened, I would have waked you up. Why should I hide from you anything?" I tried to look offended and innocent. That was surprising that he actually remembered the lady. He described me pretty good.

"she was pale with big eyes. I didn't get the colour but they were light. " the sky was of some insane colour. Her hair seemed ginger; she had sparkles in her curls. She was at my side and her expression… I can't believe I made her up." I just gave him a skeptical look. What was he telling about my expression? I had no idea even how I looked at that moment. My only thought was that I didn't want this man to die. Not because I'd fed fairy with some bread. What have he seen on my face?

Thanks Goddess he didn't notice anything between me hidden in a hat and scarf and his lady.

We went on. Surprisingly, Gwaine have found the path he'd been looking for yesterday.

Now I'm sure that fairy was toying with us. But it's not a problem anymore.

It's charm is gone and forest seemed pretty normal and rather friendly. Gawaine finally shut up about his mysterious lady. If only he knew at least a part of true story… He still acted as if I'm his male acquaintance. That's for good.

We'll part soon and I don't need unnecessary questions.

It was sunny bright morning, birds were singing and everything seemed so peaceful. But ir only seemed so. All the idyllic picture was destroyed by a big armed guy and his companions.

Oh, the robbers. Sweet.

I didn't know what my usual tactics would be in a situation of a robbery, because I've never had one before! I stepped back.

"you have a nice piece of metal here," the robber scowled "give it to me."

Gawaine's eyes narrowed. Next events took a few moments and all I've noticed before Gawaine pushed me down were angry people surrounding us. I fell on the ground and covered my head with my hands. Clanging of swords filled the air. Clanging and hard swearing. I crawled towards the bushes. I needed to think of something to help Gawaine. He might be a skillful fighter but there were too many foes.

I need to help him… What a hell!

I almost reached bushes and bumped into something lying there! Something was alive! Something was actually somebody and somebody looked at me surprised! Clanging of swords got louder and closer. So the two of us were lying there and staring as a mocking voice right above said:

"Merlin, can't believe you are hiding again!"

Thanks a lot to all my faithful readers! Nin and I appreciate your attention ^.^

Sorry, new chapter is quite short but next time I'll do my best, and you will see more of Gawaine, Merlin and Arthur.
